I accidentally filled up about 17 litres of BP 91 RON on my 2008 Euro just then.
I have ALWAYS used BP Ultimate 98 fuel since the day I got the car.
- Is this a major problem? Will this do any damage to the engine or the car?
- Is there anything else I can do now to improve things?
I read the drivers manual as soon as I got home and it does state clearly that for Australian model Euros, to use premium unleaded petrol with RON of 95 or higher.
It also says, "Use of a lower octane petrol can cause a persistent, heavy metallic rapping noise in the engine that can lead to mechanical damage"
Now I am really worried as I'm scared I might have done damage to the engine.
Please help or if anyone can shed some light on this, it would be greatly appreciated.
